We’re way past due for updating our blog! 3+ months ago we started a formal academic program of Spanish in Xela.

It’s a program designed for university students who want immersion Spanish and credit for 2 years (4 semesters) of Spanish.  It’s 5 hours a day, one-on-one with your teacher across a small desk.  Exhausting, but excellent.  Afternoons and weekends were spent memorizing, memorizing and more memorizing of verb conjugations in multiple tenses, grammar forms and lots of new vocabulary.

At the end, the school had a “graduation” ceremony for us which we appreciated! We got our diplomas and a letter describing the program for our records.
